Bravo is officially turning up the heat in the Oce Bravo is officially turning up the heat in the Ocean State. The network announced that The Real Housewives of Rhode Island will premiere Thursday, April 2, at 9 p.m. ET, launching the newest — and already buzzworthy — expansion of the Housewives universe. After the debut, the series moves into its regular Sunday night slot beginning April 5 at 9 p.m. ET, locking in prime real estate for weekly blowups, alliances and social-media meltdowns. Set in America’s smallest state — but one that delivers outsized drama — RHORI dives into tight social circles where everyone knows everyone, reputations matter, and grudges travel fast. Friendships stretch back years, loyalties are tested daily, and secrets don’t stay secret for long. The cast features Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi — a group with overlapping histories and plenty to say. Stirring the pot even more, The Real Housewives of New Jersey standout Dolores Catania joins as a “friend of,” guaranteeing sparks from the jump. Bravo’s logline teases a season where betrayals crack long-standing bonds and tensions simmer just beneath the surface — until they explode. Some of the biggest moments play out far from home. The women retreat to Newport’s iconic Seaview Terrace for a glamorous weekend where luxury sets the stage for major shake-ups. Later, a sun-drenched getaway to Block Island pushes relationships to the brink as couples clash, lines are crossed, and truths finally come out. One thing’s clear: in Rhode Island, the state may be small — but the drama is anything but. #rhori #rhodeisland
A late-night fire tore through Castle Hill Inn on A late-night fire tore through Castle Hill Inn on Thursday, forcing an evacuation and drawing firefighters from across Rhode Island as crews battled flames amid icy, bitter conditions. At 9:33 p.m., the Newport Fire Department was dispatched to 590 Ocean Ave. after a fire alarm activation. When crews arrived, smoke and fire were already pushing through the roof at the rear of the historic seaside property. Firefighters immediately evacuated all guests and occupants while attack teams raced inside to conduct primary and secondary searches. Crews launched an aggressive interior attack on the third floor and attic, where the fire was concentrated. As the blaze intensified, a second alarm was struck at 9:56 p.m., triggering a regional response. Mutual aid companies from Newport Naval Station, Jamestown, Middletown, Portsmouth, North Kingstown, Bristol and Kingston responded, along with the Providence Canteen to support firefighters on scene and provide coverage across the community. After more than two hours of coordinated firefighting, the fire was declared under control at 12:08 a.m. Investigators from the Newport Fire Marshal’s Office and the State Fire Marshal’s Office then began examining the scene. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Mutual aid departments were gradually released starting around 12:40 a.m., while Newport firefighters remained on scene through the morning to assist investigators and monitor for lingering hot spots. Hotel management was able to accommodate all displaced guests on the property. No estimates were immediately available on the extent of fire, smoke or water damage. Despite freezing temperatures and hazardous conditions, officials reported no injuries. #castlehill #newportri #newportbuzz
